Comment
I am extremely concerned about the changes proposed in Bill 66.
Bill 66 threatens Waterloo Region’s water quality and supply, agricultural and rural communities, natural ecosystems, and the continued smart growth of its urban cores. The bill would permit municipalities to allow business developments that don't follow laws that protect our water, agriculture, and community development plans.
Bill 66 removes the requirement for public notice and public meetings with opportunity for community input, as well as the opportunity to appeal the decision.
Growth will happen, but how and where this growth takes place must be a decision that we make intentionally and democratically together.
